    I've been to Venus many times and can say without a doubt it is my fav Greek restaurant in NY. Maybe anywhere?! The menu is extensive and everything is delicious. My favorites are the pork souvlaki, the avgolemono soup, and the spanakopita. Delicious and large Greek salads too. I LOVE their tzatziki - idk what crack they put in it but I could drink the stuff. Great family friendly restaurant run by a great family. I love sitting at the bar to chat w them when they can - great service.

    The Venus Greek Restaurant has been around a long time in a popular shopping center on Fort Salonga Road, which is Route 25A. We go there for breakfast on Sunday mornings. It is a quieter spot than many others in the area. There was no wait for a table, and we are always warmly welcomed. We ordered the breakfast special of 2 eggs, bacon, toast and home fries...the juice and coffee is included. The price was $11.45. The noise level is low. We enjoyed our breakfast, and the delightful service.

    Gyro platter

    Oh my goodness! I am beyond stuffed. I can hardly move. It's not the wine I swear! Portions ,portions, portions this place gives you a ton of food. Very good food at that. I heard about Venus from a Greek coworker a long time ago and today was the day I finally ordered. I will definitely be going back. I ate the gyro platter all 11 pounds of it lol my only complaint is that there was more vegetables than rice. I would of preferred of a more perfect combination. The lamb and chicken were both Perfectly cooked with their juices seeping down into the rice creating a perfect au jus for dipping the pita bread into. They also give plenty of tzatziki, so don't bother asking for extra. I couldn't tell you how the salad was maybe tomorrow after lunch I'll update my post. We ordered through Grubhub and it was delivered in a timely matter. Kudos to the chefs!!

    So called luncheon moussaka!

    I was so disappointed with my recent Oder from Venus. I have recommended this restaurant to many people and I will no longer do so. I ordered the luncheon moussaka and it was horrible. They used to put the salad separately today it was in the pan with the smallest piece of moussaka I ever saw. They also included under cooked potatoes which tasted so bad. I have ordered this before and it was delicious - this time the food was inedible. We also ordered a hamburger deluxe with everything lettuce, tomato, onions, pickle and cole slaw - well when we got home it was just a plain hamburger with nothing on it but they did include fries. I am so disappointed with the food today. It used to be one of my favorite restaurants but I doubt if I will go back there for a long while.

We have been coming here regularly for quite some time and really enjoying our favorite Greek dishes, so I thought, why not bring the whole family together and let everyone enjoy it with us? We also completely trust George L., whom we have known since he previously worked at another restaurant several years ago and since Symi opened, which made Symi the perfect choice for our gathering. From the moment we arrived, the entire staff was welcoming, and professional. George was phenomenal, as he has always been--warm, very easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and consistently attentive. From the very beginning of our planning several months ago, George was incredibly helpful. He provided thoughtful recommendations and detailed information that made selecting our menu easy. He also helped us choose a drink package and having the menus printed for our guests, which was such a nice personal touch. We selected four appetizers to be served family-style, followed by individually chosen entrées, and finished with desserts served family-style. We also added a few items à la carte, including grilled octopus and lava cakes for dessert. Everything was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. The entire group agreed that the food was fresh, flavorful, and exceptionally well prepared. The portions were generous as well. Honestly, I was already quite full after the appetizers! The drinks were equally enjoyable, and everyone agreed that they were delicious and paired wonderfully with the meal. We even had some leftover food and desserts to take home, which was the perfect finishing touch. All in all, it was a truly successful family gathering, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. Symi never disappoints! A huge thank-you to George and the entire team for helping make our family gathering feel extra special.

So I reached out and connect with Marco, one of the owners, and he was so kind while booking our reservation and I got the pleasure of meeting him in person when we arrived. The 3 course menu had a lot of options, and I recommend coming here for it. The quality, variety, freshness, and portions were very impressive. They brought perfectly grilled bread with spiced olive oil and a big portion of olive paste to start. We split the spanikopita and beets with skordalia for our first course. I loved both but the beets were so great and the skordalia was even better. If you like garlic, that's the dish to get. For dinner my husband had the lavraki which was so perfectly cooked, fresh, and delicious. He also loved the lemon potatoes that accompanied it. I had the seafood linguine with the squid ink pasta and I have no words. It was perfection. The pasta and each piece of seafood was cooked perfectly and the sauce was light and fresh. I loved every bite. For dessert my husband had the Greek yogurt with honey and sour cherries and he loved it. I opted for the galaktoboureko but took it to go as I was stuffed. It had a very nice texture and strong orange flavor! The service was impeccable. Everyone came over to check on us, and our waiter was great. I also loved how beautiful and light the dining room was. Thank you Symi, for a memorable evening. I cannot wait to return!

It is now terrible. Big mistake. There are burgers joints everywhere. I went there to pick up a takeout (by the way, the menu has changed. The fried calamari, which was excellent is gone. It was fresh because they included the tentacles which you can't buy in the frozen rings which suck). It's dark inside, and the overwhelming stink of burgers doesn't mix well with the glorious smell of Greek food. Also, I bought the greek wings.

For lunch, we ordered the stuffed mushrooms (a daily special), the grilled octopus appetizer, and a Greek salad. The portions were generous and more than enough for two people.

Overall, this was an unexpected gem, and we're so glad we decided to give it a try.

    Let me first start this review by saying that I'm judging every Long Island restaurant from a…read morequeens native perspective. You gotta come correct with the food or don't come at all! Pete's is as correct as it gets. I moved out to Long Island recently. Took less than a week for the queens food cravings to kick in. I looked around and found Pete the Greek. Pete if you're reading this, it's love. I commute through queens every single day. Ask me when's the last time I had a gyro in queens. Ask me when's the last time I had ANYTHING in queens other than traffic. Me and my wife are foodies in the highest form. Pete's spot is becoming a weekly habit in our household. I don't even need to ask what she wants. I just show up with the bag that has gyros the size of a family platter and I get welcomed more than a check you didn't expect to get. Let me explain, the pita is legit with no tears and soggy portions(you can smell it can't you), the veggies are fresh and CRISP my guy/gal. (your mind just made the crunch sound didn't it) the cheese and white sauce are wilder than a group of kids with no babysitters around. As for the meat of choice, pause on this but there's enough to go two rounds if you're more focused on the long haul. You're going to have to bite this thing like a gentle mike Tyson listening to Motown in the boxing ring while your eyes are closed and you're dancing under dim lights; it'll get you where you need to be, in God damn flavortown. But you can go slow. It's not here to hurt you, it's only going to crush it's competition by taking one customer over at a time. If you live out here and choose to go to a different Greek spot, either I'm missing some marbles, or you're smoking them. I want to try everything in that place. Even the damn napkins have to at least smell nice. So here we are, you've made it to the end. Congratulations. And you're welcome, if you almost walked into chipotle instead, you almost lost your destiny. But you're saved now. You chose Pete's. And your significant other now knows what she wants to eat. Bless. All is right. And to all a goodnight. (Insert LL Cool J peace sign kiss here) PS: buy the pita and hummus side too. Get an extra white sauce on the side and you can finagle your own bagel as you please with all that extra meat you're failing at holding with both hands. I said what I said. Damn I'm hungry AF right now.
